"I had little right to live, born on a slave ship where my parents both died. But I survived, and indeed, you might say I did more." It's 1746 and Georgian London is not a safe place for a young Black man, especially one who has escaped slavery. After the twinkling lights in the Fleet Street coffee shops are blown out and the great houses have closed their doors for the night, Sancho must dodge slave catchers and worse. The man he hoped would help him--a kindly duke who taught him to write--is dying. Sancho is desperate and utterly alone. So how does the same Charles Ignatius Sancho meet the king, write and play highly acclaimed music, become the first Black person to vote in Britain, and lead the fight to end slavery? It's time for him to tell his story, one that begins on a tempestuous Atlantic Ocean and ends at the very center of London life. And through it all, he must ask: Born among death, how much can he achieve in one short life?"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hilo Public Library Adult Fiction Joseph Checked In Add Copy to MyList Honokaa Public Library Adult Fiction Joseph Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Adult Fiction Joseph Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Fiction Joseph Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Acquisitions --- On Order   in Processing Add Copy to MyList Kihei Public Library Adult Fiction Joseph Checked In Add Copy to MyList McCully-Moiliili Public Library Adult Fiction Joseph Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mountain View P/S Library Adult Fiction Joseph Checked In Add Copy to MyList Pahoa P/S Library Adult Fiction Joseph Checked In Add Copy to MyList Salt Lake-Moanalua Public Library Adult Fiction Joseph Checked In Add Copy to MyList More Results: 1 2 Next
